The third book. Mockingjay.

"Are you preparing for another war, Plutarch?" I ask."Oh, not now. Now we're in that sweet period where everyone agrees that our recent horrors should never be repeated," he says. "But collective thinking is usually shortlived. We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction. Although who knows? Maybe this will be it, Katniss.""What?" I ask."The time it sticks. Maybe we are witnessing the evolution of the human race. Think about that." And then he asks me if I'd like to perform on a new singing program he's launching in a few weeks. Something upbeat would be good. He'll send the crew to my house.We land briefly in District 3 to drop Plutarch. He's meeting with Beetee to update the technology on the broadcast system. His parting words to me are "Don't be a stranger."

You kissed me and you thought I wasn't going to survive it? - LuceBased on previous experience. Yes. - DanielThat's just crazy. - LuceIt's not about the kiss this time. It's about what it means. In some lives we can kiss, but in most we can't. I must say, I prefer the lives where we can kiss. Though it does make losing you that much harder. - Daniel

Peeta and Gale. Mockingjay.

A few hours later. I slip back into consciousness and become aware af a quiet conversation. Peeta and Gale. I can't stop myself from eavesdropping."Thanks for the water," Peeta says."No problem," Gale replies. "I wake up ten times a night anyway.""To make sure Katniss is still here?" asks Peeta."Something like that," Gale admits.There's a long pause before Peeta speaks again. "That was funny, what Tigris said. About no one knowing what to do with her.""Well, we never have," Gale says.They both laugh. It's so strange to hear them talking like this. Almost like friends. Which they're not. Never have been. Although they're not exactly enemies."She loves you, you know," says Peeta. "She as good as told me after they whipped you.""Don't believe it," Gale answers. "The way she kissed you in the Quarter Quell... well, she never kissed me like that.""It was just part of the show," Peeta tells him, although there's an edge of doubt in his voice."No, you won her over. Gave up everything for her. Maybe that's the only way to convince her you love her."There's a long pause. "I should have volunteered to take your place in the first Games. Protected her then.""You couldn't," says Peeta. "She'd never forgiven you. You had to take care of her family. They matter more to her than her life.""Well, it won't be an issue much longer. I think it's unlikely all three of us will be alive at the end of the war. And if we are, I guess it's katniss's problem. Who to choose." Gale yawns. "We should get some sleep.""Yeah." I hear Peeta's handcuffs slide down the support as he settles in. "I wonder who she'll make up her mind.""Oh, that I do know." I can just catch Gale's last words through the layer of fur. "Katniss will pick whoever she thinks she can't survive without."

Dead or alive, Katniss Everdeen will remain the face of this rebellion. If ever you waver in your resolve, think of the Mockingjay, and in her you will find the strength you need to rid Panem of its oppressors. - President Coin

Mockingjay.

It seems like I've only shut my eyes for a few minutes, but when I open them, I flinch at the sight of Haymitch sitting a couple of feet from my bed. Waiting. Possibly for several hours if the clock is right. I think about hollering for a witness, but I'm going to have to face him sooner or later. Haymitch leans forward and dangles something on a thin white wire in front of my nose. It's hard to focus on, but I'm pretty sure what it is. He drops it to the sheets."That is your earpiece. I will give you exactly one more chance to wear it. If you remove it from your ear again, I'll have you fitted with this." He holds up some sort of metal headgear that I instantly name the head shackle. "It's an alternative audio unit that locks around your skull and under your chin until it's opened with a key. And I'll have the only key. If for some reason you're clever enough to disable it" - Haymitch dumps the head shackle on the bed and whips out a tiny silver chip - "I'll authorize them to surgically implant this transmitter into your ear so that I may speak to you twenty-four hours a day."Haymitch in my head full-time. Horrifying. "I'll keep the earpiece in," I mutter."Excuse me?" he says."I'll keep the earpiece in!" I say, loud enough to wake up half the hospital."You sure? Because I'm equally happy with any of the three options," he tells me."I'm sure," I say. I scrunch up the earpiece wire protectively in my fist and fling the head shackle back in his face with my free hand, but he catches it easily. Probably was expecting me to throw it. "Anything else?"Haymitch rises to go. "While I was waiting... I ate your lunch."My eyes take in the empty stew bowl and tray on my bed table. "I'm going to report you," I mumble into my pillow."You do that, sweetheart." He goes out, safe in the knowledge that I'm not the reporting kid.

We almost went extinct fighting one another before. Now our numbers are even fewer. Our conditions more tenuous. Is this really what we want to do? Kill ourselves off completely? In the hopes that - what? Some decent species will inherit the smoking remains of the earth? - Peeta

You and I will both be Lissa's guardian someday. I need to protect her at all costs. If a pack of Strigoi comes, I need to throw my body between them and her. - DimitriI know that. Of course that's what you have to do. - RoseNo. If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you. - Dimitri

It made Luce want to stand up next to him and fight. Fight to stay alive long enough to live out her life next to him. Fight for the only thing she knew that was good enough, noble enough, powerful enough to be worth risking everything. Love. (Luce)

I had the most wonderful summer of my life. I got to watch you save the turtles, and I had the chance to see you fall in love, even if it doesn't last forever. And most of all, I got to know you as a young woman, not a little girl, for the first time ever. And I can't tell you how much joy those things gave to me. That's what got me through the summer. - Steve

Not at this point of my life. Maybe I’m completely different from everyone else. There are a lot of girls who can’t wait to get married and plan their wedding a long time in advance. I’m not like that.

You're an angel, Daniel, I know it. Don't tell me I'm crazy. I have dreams about you, dreams that are too real to forget, dreams that made me love you before you ever said one nice thing to me. Dreams where you have wings and you hold me high up in a sky I don't recognize, and yet I know I've been there, just like that, in your arms a thousand times before. It explains so much - how graceful you are when you move, and the book your ancestor wrote. Why no one came to visit you on Parent's day. The way your body seems to float when you swim. And why, when you kiss me, I feel like I've gone to heaven. And why you can live forever. The only thing it doesn't explain is what on earth you're doing with me. Because I'm just.. me. - Luce

It's all wrapped up together. Until now, I didn't even know that you could discover it on your own. If I told you too quickly or at the wrong time, you'd be gone again and I would have to wait. I've already had to wait so long. - DanielHow long? - LuceNot so long that that I've forgotten that you're worth everything. Every sacrifice. Every Pain. - Daniel

My Heart.

Iam finding out that maybe I was wrong. That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone. Stay with me, this is what I need, please? Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you. We could sing our own but what would it be without you? I am nothing now and it's been so long since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope. This time I will be listening. Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you. We could sing our own but what would it be without you? This heart, it beats, beats for only you. This heart, it beats, beats for only you. This heart, it beats, beats for only you. My heart is yours. This heart, it beats, beats for only you. My heart is yours. This heart, it beats, beats for only you. My heart is yours. This heart, it beats, beats for only you. My heart, my heart is yours. My heart is yours. My heart is yours. My heart is..

And yet you know in your heart it's true. You knew it when I followed you to the top of Corcovado in Rio, when you wanted to see the statue up close. You knew it when I carried you two sweaty miles to the River Jordan after you got sick outside Jerusalem. I told you not to eat all those dates. You knew it when you were my nurse in that Italian hospital during the first World War, and before that when I hid you in your cellar during the tsar's purge of St. Petersburg. When I scaled the turret of your castle in Scotland during the Reformation, and danced you around at the king's coronation vall at Versailles. You were the only woman dressed in black. There was the artists' colony in Quintana Roo, and the protest march in Cape Town where we both spent the night in the pen. The opening of the Globe Theatre in London. We had the best seats in the house. And when my ship wrecked in Tahiti, you were there, as you were when I was convict in Melbourne, and a pickpocket in eighteenth-centure Nîmes,and a monk in Tibet. You turn up everywhere, always, and sooner or later you sense all the things I've just told you. But you won't let yourself accept what you feel might be the truth. You knew it when you picked white peonies every day for a month that summer in Helston. Remember that? No. Of course you don't. I envy you for that. I do all of these things because you're my love, Lucinda. For me, you're all there is. - Daniel
